I would love to see Crochet move to that model as well.

But it will not be simple:  Crochet aims to provide a lot of ways
to customize the image and it will be a challenge to come up
with clean ways to do all of that in a non-root fashion.
(For example, I want to someday be able to install packages
into the customized image.)
